Product Description<br/><br/><br/>A Stegosaurus Named Sam, written and illustrated by Kevin E Adams, is a charming, believable story which deals with issues faced by many children and young adults. Sometimes looking or acting different can have sad and lonely consequences, when kids are teased or left out of games. The book talks about accepting yourself, no matter what the circumstances. Learning to love yourself and your own special abilities is the first step to being able to love and accept others. The changes that the body goes through as it grows are also weird and scary, but A Stegosaurus Named Sam shows that they’re natural and necessary.<br/><br/><br/>Review<br/><br/><br/>"...deals with...issues of...acceptance, coping with... changes that growing bodies go through, and...courage in the face of danger." --<br/>Joan Mayor, Publisher<br/><br/>"...richly illustrated, humorous...story is...for anyone...who has ever felt slightly out of step with the rest of society." --<br/>Susan McCormick, Publisher<br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>Kevin Adams is learning disabled and is an employee at the McDonald's corporation.
